I may have finally just figured out the perfect approach for my theme. I'm definitely going to need clean/harsh vocals for this later on, so please CorpseFister include my username in the collabs list.

I've got my doom song pretty much done, I just need to redo the lyrics/vocals, which led me to discover something interesting: I have absolutely no idea how to process clean vocals. I've never done it, haha. I guess some compression, a bit of EQ, and some reverb. I think I may also redo the intro to the song, I like what I have but it's not quite "doom" enough.

I have some riffs written, and my friend and I have been meaning to get together & jam but we've both been busy with school stuff. However we should be able to get some stuff done soon. I had originally planned on doing death/doom, but my writing has drifted more towards blackened funeral doom or something of that like.

So we've got less than a week to go and I've received some great submissions but not as many as we usually end up with. I think deadlines are good motivators but hell, musicians aren't really known for being the most organized and timely bunch and I'd like us to get as many songs done as possible. So how would you guys feel about an extension? Would another week or so ensure anyone can get their song done?

I'm not sure how many people in the challenge are in the affected area, but a significant portion of the US is getting hit by a hurricane and may be without power - an extension can't hurt anyone

Probaby for Zodi it would cause I wasn't able to record drums till Mon.

I'm finishing my mix today so I was going to be done by the time it was needed.

Adding a layer to each guitar track once the drums are done should be the easiest part, since I practiced the song already. Vocals are going to be a challenge though as I'm not much of a singer - I might want to go back to that a second or third time to finalize it. I did get a lot of writing done with this theme!

Another week would help me out significantly, work has kept me on the move this month and I've had very little time to spend writing. And just like Zodi mentioned, hellstorm Sandy may well be effectively some people, too.

But if the deadline isn't extended I'm sure I can supply something, I'm just a little concerned about the overall quality of my submission.

So, even with SLK and Flesh_Bag getting songs in we’re still going to be a bit shy of the numbers needed for a decent compilation. Considering a few posters have been affected by the storm and that a few other people have said they could use a bit more time I’ve decided to add one more week- the new deadline is November 9th.

High fives and gold stars to everyone who has/will get their song in for the initial deadline. The rest of you- get cracking! If we can’t get to at least 10 songs I’ll ask Metantoine to temp ban the lot of you!

I wrote a handful of songs but didn't record any yet so the new deadline will help me out. A lot of people in my area lost power and there are some fallen trees and leaves but the storm didn't really delay me other than the time it took to bring shit inside beforehand.

Well, shame on me, again I can't seem to finish a song for the challenge, I just don't get enough time to compose something that's not for my studies; hope that once the vacations start in the next months I'll get more productive.
